Does anyone have ideas about using pick when using msh? I can only get it to say how many messages it matches, without message numbers. Not much help when searching a file with lots of messages. Don't tell me to 'inc' into a folder. When the problem arises it is usually because I long since decided I would never need to look at these messages, but packed them into an archival file just in case. -- =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*= Neil W.

This way, any pick command will define the sequence "foo", and you can use that sequence name with "msh" (e.g., "scan foo"). -- John Romine

It works nicely. Another question! If I say: 'msh OLD' to look at a file of old messages, everthing goes about as I would expect. But if I say: 'msh OLD.1' to look at a really really old file, I get: msh: Mail/.OLD.map: pointer mismatch or incomplete index (319693!=558608), continuing... Is there something peculiar about a file name ending in '.digit'? -- =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*= Neil W.
